Multnomah Biblical Seminary

Make the most of your ministry

Your calling is unique, but the call to Christian leadership in every field requires biblical wisdom, spiritual maturity and cultural awareness. Those are the qualities you’ll develop at Multnomah Biblical Seminary. Whether you’re examining an ancient manuscript, representing Christ during an interfaith dialogue or gaining practical experience in our Mentored Ministry program, you’ll deepen your understanding of the Word and the complexities of modern society. And by the time you graduate, you’ll be ready to encourage hearts and share God’s truth in any setting.

Accessible Programs, Flexible Scheduling

You don’t have to move to Portland for quality biblical and theological ministry education. We also understand that you are likely to be working while pursuing your education. To help you achieve your goals, we offer accessible programs and flexible scheduling.

One-day-out-of-a-week courses. Most required second- and third-year courses held on campus for the MACL and M.Div. programs are scheduled for Monday OR Tuesday, and occasionally on Wednesday. Online courses are also options for students with scheduling constraints.

One- and two-week intensive courses. Some required courses and many electives are offered as one and two week intensives that meet during Summer Term (June).

Our seminary is dedicated to the exposition of Scripture through the learning of the original Biblical languages as well as dialoguing with science for the purpose of training ministers to have more helpful and holistic conversations in the realms of faith and science. Explore programs relating to these initiatives below.

Mentored Ministry Program

The Mentored Ministry Program is a hallmark feature of the seminary experience at Multnomah. Ministry mentors working with seminary faculty contribute their years of ministry experience to a sequenced, concurrent, and intense ministry immersion program to hone leadership skills and perspectives.

Advanced standing

Bible college graduates and Christian liberal arts graduates who have the equivalent biblical and theological base do not repeat this foundation, but build upon it in their education. Students can waive up to 19 units of coursework and credit, reducing the amount of hours required for their respective program.
